I ask myself the same question. I have no idea. Mine is from vaio and came with some sort of modded debian that looked like a stripped down win xp with custom repos that didn't even load properly.

You'd think that installing a niche distro like that is more difficult than one of the big 'plug and play' ones. Meaning they actively put more work into it, how strange.
